Not yet, but I would appreciate it if you tried it and sent me screens, thanks.

---

Still no luck. I unpacked the file you attached into the folder where Retro Football Manager is installed. But I still get the same error message. Please see the screenshot I have added. There you can take a look what files are in the corresponding folder on my phone.

---

I really hope I will get this program to work because it would be nice to have such a game on my Xperia.

Try this version, it's for WM5 with CF35 and CF35msg. I try it on very old Glofiish M700 with clear WM5 and its works fine, i really surprised.
Please, write me, how it's working.

---

Still not working. I tried the new version as well as the separate WM5 version to no avail. Here is the corresponding error message:
Retro Football Manager.exe
InvalidOperationException
An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Value can not be null.
